Clear To Send Podcast: Recent Episodes
Rowell Dionicio and François Vergès
This is a podcast about wireless engineering where we educate you on Wireless technology, talk about wireless design tips, wireless troubleshooting, interview other wireless engineers, and the wireless tools.
We're trying out something new in this episode. We're asking each other questions on "Would you rather" to get insight into how we would do Wi-Fi given we had two options.
What you'll find is that we don't always agree on the same things. And that's okay.
More importantly, is diving into the reasons why. If you find that there's a topic you'd like to learn more about, please let us know in the comments below.
